The mainstream media are going wild circulating a viral list of so-called “fake news” websites – and the list includes established news sites like WND, Zero Hedge, Breitbart, Red State, the Daily Wire and Project Veritas – but WND has found a leftist, Trump-bashing assistant professor in Massachusetts who specialized in “fat studies” is behind the effort to target and discredit legitimate news organizations.
Meet Merrimack College Assistant Professor Melissa Zimdars, a 30-something self-identified feminist and activist who has expressed great dislike for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
She’s only actually held her teaching position at the private college in North Andover, Mass., for 15 months.
Zimdars published and circulated a list of “fake, false, or regularly misleading websites that are shared on Facebook and social media.” She said she began writing the list because she didn’t approve of the sources her students were citing.
The problem?
In addition to some satirical and bogus sites, her list attacks the credibility of well-established news organizations such as Breitbart, BizPac Review, Red State, the Blaze, the Independent Journal Review, Twitchy, the Daily Wire, WND and James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. In many cases (such as with her WND listing), she offers no explanation for why the news organizations were included on the list.

They’re all just mad because the real liberal fake news sites are losing relevancy. Despite their best efforts they still couldn’t trick enough people into loving Clinton and hating Trump. Their days as shapers and molders of public opinion are *gone*.
ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and NBC should be at the top of the list based on their performance in the past decade or so.
People like this are in academia because they couldn’t exist in real life. This is another swamp that needs to be drained.
Fake is a liberal code word for true.
Zero academic expertise: check
No discernable abilities: check
Box top degree: check
Demonstrates low self esteem by loudly proclaiming indefensible things: check
Feminist: check
On a college “faculty”: check
Wanna bet who she/it voted for?
That is, if they voted at all.
That woman needs to get pregnant and get her boney ass back in the kitchen where it belongs.
Cooking and folding. Folding and cooking.
This is another swamp that needs to be drained.
I agree. This is simply the gubmint propaganda outlets trying to discredit actual news providers.
Bet those glasses are fake as well.
Asst. prof? So she’s not tenured?
I ask with all sincerity: WTF are “fat studies”??
Fake degree.
I remember when professors were mostly accomplished in their field for multiple decades before becoming an actual professor.
Feminists only need about six years of uselessness.
Perhaps Merrimack profs need to be Monitored
Today Fascistbook is pimping a story that soul singer Sharon Jones had a stroke because Trump won (she died Friday of cancer at age 60).
Dig a little deeper and it was a JOKE she was making while in the hospital but plenty of libtard sites are taking the pull quote out of context and pushing it as a fact (just as Fascistbook is).
So is Fakebook on the list of fake news sites? I’ll post a list of those pushing the lie.
Consequence of Sound (music site, rates festivals and things)
Stereogum (music site and I think it’s also a magazine)
New York Daily News (libtard tabloid)
Los Angeles Times (has published a photoshopped image of a US soldier pointing a gun at a refugee during Bush’s presidency)
The Hill
NME (Brit music tabloid)
Jezebel (sex positive feminazi blog)
Hollywood.com
The Root
Atlanta Black Star
I Will Vote For Obama in 2012
JP Hester
All Black Media
FACT Magazine
WVLK
EURweb.com
and so on
Fake news pushed by fakebook. FUMZ
I see what you did there. Well played, very well played. :=)
“Fat studies” are easy to pass college courses for Fatheads and Fat People who want to know why they are like that. It has nothing to do with health issues, but it does help to explain who some people are so damned dumb about their real knowledge and bad eating habits, as in “Too many Twinkies, guy” (Flight of the Navigator film?)
Information wants to be free.
This is crazy. I’ve never heard of fat studies, but apparently an offshoot of women’s studies. My husbands sister is a women’s studies tenured professor at what was once a prestigious Catholic university. Saw on FB in between her white men got trump elected they are racists rants she posted she’s coming to DC for pantsuit brigade protest. University likely footing the bill. What a mess Trump has to clean up.
